Lawry, Im in Yellowknife right now and the comic books are on my shelves at home.  I believe their general title is "Vagabond des Limbres" though I'd have to make sure.  I'll do that when I get home in a few days.

Hi, Ed, I am heading back to Paris in a few weeks...what is the name of the comic books? They sound great!

On my most eclectic shelves, I have few volumes of a series of hardcover French comic books featuring a handsome hero who is searching the universe for his beloved.  The hero is accompanied a wistful little gamin of a clown.  The scene is forever shifting around the pair, inspiring the gamin to ask, on more than one occasion, "What is reality, Papa?"  In their ever changing world, they encounter a failed God trying to remake creation, motorcycle gangs led by Adolph Hitler chasing wild Indians, and armies of dogs, in uniform, marching onward to some strange and distant destiny.  What, indeed, is reality?

I keep those volumes around and look at them every once in awhile because I see them as a commentary on the human condition.
